When the owners bought the home in 2016, they were drawn to its quiet, tree-lined setting, proximity to shops and schools, and large corner block. They could see the potential to create a home that would grow with their family.
Over the years, they have done just that. Renovating the kitchen, adding a butler's pantry and extending the home to include two bedrooms, a bathroom and a main bedroom retreat brought their vision to life. Outside, they created an entertaining area and established the gardens, giving the family more places to spend time together.
Their happiest memories include raising their children here and seeing the finished extension after years of imagining what the home could become. Asked what they will miss, the owners' answer is simple: the whole home.
THE HOME
The renovated kitchen gives the family a practical place to cook and gather, with stainless steel appliances, a large gas oven and quality plumbing fixtures. The butler's pantry adds space to prepare meals and keep the kitchen organised, particularly when friends and family visit. New flooring and carpet throughout, along with repainting completed in 2025, bring the renovated spaces together.
The master bedroom retreat is among the owners' favourite spaces, providing a place to step away from the activity of the household. The original bathroom was renovated in 2024, and the bathrooms share a consistent finish through wall-hung toilets with concealed Caroma Cleanflush cisterns, floating vanities and rain shower heads.
Outside, the entertaining area built in 2020 has become another favourite place to spend time together. Established gardens and the front lawn having irrigation bringing round greenery to the corner block, while Colorbond fencing, the rendered exterior and extended carport reflect the work the owners have completed across the property.
Split-system air conditioners in most rooms allow comfort to be managed across the home, alongside a dual hot-water setup. The 13kW solar system installed in 2023 has a digital inverter and provision for a future battery connection. A separate Zoom room also offers a useful space for calls or working from home.
